Bathurst Race 3 - Spelling Available At Artistic Lodge Pace
SMOOTH BUZZ (8) backs up after racing wide at Menangle on Saturday and was beaten less than 6m in his previous attempt in the city. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw but he is suited dropping in grade and returning to this venue having put together a string of top-two finishes here prior. WHERES THE GOLD NZ (6) was far from disgraced at Menangle on Saturday where he managed to beat SMOOTH BUZZ home despite racing three wide without cover. He is better placed having won the last time he raced here. CASSIUS DECK (7) did a good job to come from the back row for a last-start win by 1.8 metres at Menangle. HAVEYOUCHECKEDIN (5) is first up for 12 weeks but came from a similar draw to this to score two back at Newcastle and is proven fresh so can open this campaign with a positive effort.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Force Full at Newcastle over 1609m in a No NR on May 8 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cassius Deck at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on May 14 at $10. Player from the ace draw.

First up. At the last run he was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 1609m after being wide early at Menangle, beaten 16 m by Captain Bellasario (1:51.60) in NR up to 95 on February 28 at $4.60. Has trialled so look for a good return.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Backing up quickly after 7th (Fr3) over 2300m after showing early speed at Menangle, at the bell was 4th-6.39 beaten 11 m by Thalassophobia (2:42.00) in NR up to 95 on May 16 at $81. The run prior 10th (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 85 m by Betterthancash (1:50.80) in NR up to 95 on May 2 at $41. Won the last time he raced here so is better placed.
